Nik: Brynn, you're chill, right?
Brynn: Uh, sure. What's up?
Nik: I mean, not that I care, but do you think, maybe-
Brynn: Is this about Bailey?
Nik: Uh... Maybe.
Brynn: Don't talk to me about her.
Nik: Nevermind then. Why do you care?
Brynn: Stop Nik! Please.
Nik: Do you like her?
Brynn: No, why would I- that's, that's gay.
Ava: *walks in* Is everything alright Brynn?
Brynn: Uh yeah, just fine.
Nik: She has a crush on Bailey.
Brynn: I do not! I just... Nik, can you leave? Please?
Nik: Nah. I'll stay.
Brynn: Nik.
Nik: Fine. Losers. I'll go with vampire boy and look for the paper. *leaves*
Ava: Brynn, you can tell me anything.
Brynn: Why would you care? You are just popular, I'm not.
Ava: That doesn't mean you can't talk to me.
Brynn: Ok. But do not tell Nik.
Ava: Tell Nik? *chuckles* I would never. That guy is weird as hell.
Brynn: Heh, right. So uh... I think I might be bisexual.
Ava: Aw, Brynn It's ok, come here. *hugs*
Brynn: Y-you're not mad?
Ava: Why would I be mad, silly?
Brynn: You go to church and, ya know, it's kind of a sin.
Ava: No it's not. Well, I mean, technically, but like, not really. Cause He made you that way.
Brynn: I see why Ryder likes you so much.
Ava: Uh, why do you think Ryder likes me?
Brynn: *laughs* Thanks again, Ava.

Nik: Shit... where am I?
Bailey: Nik? Is that really you? *goes over to him and holds him*
Nik: My head... Bailey?
Bailey: Yea, Me! What are you doing down here?
Nik: I don't know. Hey, why are you holding me? *struggles away*
Vivianne: Ugh, this is so dumb! How did he even get in her, teleportation?
Nik: Huh? Your down here too?
Vivianne: Yeah, no shit.
Nik: Geez, chill.
Bailey: I'm so glad you are okay.
Nik: I'm so glad I'm away from you.
Xaiver: Dude chill!
Nik: You're down here too?
Xaiver: How's Brynn? Is she ok?
Nik: Shes fine. I think she is gay, though.
Xaiver: Uh, why do you think that?
Nik: She told me.
Bailey: She probably trusted you with that!
Nik: I don't wanna hear it, Bailey!
Bailey: Nik, control yourself.
Nik: Control myself? Really? I'm the one who can actually not cheat because I have fucking self control.
Bailey: Nik stop!
Nik: No!
Bailey: I only did it because he liked me so much, and I felt so bad and-
Nik: But you don't feel bad for me? Did you think of me when you were fucking him?
Xaiver: Ok, maybe we shouldn't be yelling-
Harold: Whats all the noise?
Nik: Hey, if you are gonna kidnap me, can you do it in a different cell?
Harold: Will you be the sacrifice?
Vivianne: What? What "sacrifice"?
Harold: The house is turning against me. I need someone new... but I have to get them all caged up.
Xaiver: You can't just not explain anything to us. What do you mean the house is turning against you?
Harold: It made me kill my wife. She had to die for this house. If I get a sacrifice, I'll have her back. Human sacrifice.
Vivianne: Your sick!
Bailey: If your gonna choose anyone, choose me. I deserve the most.
Nik: What? Do you hear what your saying?
Bailey: You were right, Nik. I did a horrible thing. I need to pay.
Nik: But with your life?
Bailey: Just take me, Harold.
Harold: Oh, it ain't that easy. I need all of you in here.
Nik: Thank God. Not that I care if you-
Xaiver: Shut up while you can.

Ava: Ryder, here.
Ryder: Yea?
Ava: I was thinking and...
Ryder: And? Your breaking up with Brad?
Ava: I'm not sure yet, alright? But I do know that we can't make this work.
Ryder: Wha- What?
Ava: I can't do this until I tell Brad. He'll be heartbroken.
Ryder: Fuck Brad! Ava, we might die in this house, and I want my last moments to be with you.
Ava: Ryder, that's sweet, but-
Ryder: Vivianne is probably dead. Caleb didn't even get to say goodbye. What if the same happens to you or me?
Caleb: *walks in* Huh?
Ava: Caleb!! *runs to him* My god, where were you?
Caleb: The Garden, I was running from something. Looking for Vivianne.
Ryder: Ok, who was chasing you?
Caleb: I'm not sure...
Ava: Caleb, stay here. We will go get the others, ok?
Caleb: Where are we again?
Ava: You are gonna be ok, Caleb. Let's go, Ryder.
Ryder: Alright. Stay here. *both run downstairs*
Damon: Guys! There you are! I found the-
Ava: Caleb is upstairs. He's- *caleb let's put a loud cry*
Brynn: We gotta go save him!
Damon: No, we save the others in the basement. Calebs one person, there are 4 people down there right now!
Ryder: Guys, we need to think. Fast.
Harold: Guys, please. Stay.
Ava: Get away from us!
Harold: No, I feel my soul slipping away... *falls onto the couch* They won't let you leave. *the windows slam shut, the doors become locked, Harold faints.*
